Andrew: For all intensive purposes, ~suv is as much of a main dev as the rest of us regular contributors. We have a long standing policy of not breaking features on a platform that has previously supported them if it can be avoided.

As ~suv mentioned, supporting the old dialog on osx is an option (make it conditional based on platform during compile time), however, this is still somewhat kludgy because different platforms will have different experiences... but nothing "breaks".

Either way, it's a good idea to find out why glibmm on OSX has this issue and to file an upstream bug report or add to one if it already exists. If we're possibly sitting on an unknown issue, we're only hurting ourselves. Likewise, if we're possibly another "me too", that could be extra motivation for upstream to fix it.
